Okay, I've been using NoLED for ages and it's great. But something I've only recently started noticing has been bugging me.

If I'm signed into GTalk on the phone but I'm actually conducting a conversation on my PC, NoLED will show GTalk notifications even though the actual Android notification has been cleared. And from what I can tell, the GTalk notification on Android gets cleared immediately if I have the conversation open on my PC.

In other works, when I look at my phone NoLED is showing a GTalk notification. But when I unlock the phone there are no GTalk notifications on the status bar. It seems to me like if Android cancels/removes a notification then NoLED should be able to detect that and clear its notifications as well, no?

http://www.devasque.com/noled/FAQ.php#17

makes sense.. which times do you suggest for that use-case?

unfortunately google talk updates the database silently when you're chatting through another client. this is what noled monitors so it gets triggered.

solution: use monitored apps! tick "google framework services" in monitored apps and that problem should never happen given that it relies on the status bar notifications to trigger these events. don't like the icon? long press on it to select an image of your own.
[Android Apps and Games] radeon_x:
Thanks for the suggestion. The NoLED notification shows properly, however it still does not clear when the notification is removed from the status bar.

Damn, the blink feature doesn't work on HTC devices. See the following post for our previous discussion from a loooong time ago :cool:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15044056&postcount=2657

Were you ever able to make any progress on the forcing a screen shutdown?

If not, is there any chance of implementing a no-screen option for people who are unable to use the Blink feature?
[Android Apps and Games] DarienA:
You've already got 5 min as your lowest time, any reason you can add a 1 and a 3 min timeout?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Should it? I don't think it ever did even with the older implementation. From personal experience, once google talk puts a notification on the status bar, it never disappears even if you checked that gtalk message on the desktop.

couldn't do it man :( no proper APIs to forcefully shut down the screen. I think the problem is with the HTC framework implementation.

as for the a no-screen option. It should be doable indeed. I'll add that bit to my to-do list.

I'll add 1-min to my todo list.

NoLed shows icons upon new drafts in Gmail.

Hi,

Sorry for not responding earlier, I've been busy with other stuff.

I created a filter in Gmail which skips the inbox and adds the label "testvanfilter".

An email which complies to that filter gets shown as unread in Gmail's web-interface and in Thunderbird.

NoLed isn't triggered though.

I've come across some bug reports of Thunderbird which might be part of this problem I'm having with NoLed (It seems Thunderbird marks drafts as UNREAD since Thuderbird 5):

Marking saved drafts unread makes TB almost unusable together with GMail (for Android)

IMAP Draft messages are marked as read (and thus won't be noticed)

Google contact photos no longer display after firmware upgrade

I upgraded the firmware on my Samsung Galaxy S2 to 2.3.4 a couple of days ago and since then the photos of my contacts no longer display when I receive an sms/missed call notification. I have checked my contacts and the photos are there. I even logged into (google) gmail on my pc and can confirm the same contacts have the same photos on both the pc and phone. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling NoLed, but to no avail. :confused:

I am using v4.5.4 of NoLed.

Any suggestions? (Thanks in advance for your help.)

P.S. I did search the thread for similar problems but they seemed to relate to photos from facebook contacts and the like.

Question about alert while phone active

I spent a good half hour or so looking for this answer so I apologize if it's already been addressed. I have a Galaxy S2. I was in the stock SMS app and was typing a text message when I received a text message from someone else. In the middle of my typing, the screen went to the black screen with the pink text message icon bouncing around. I had to clear that notification before I could get back to the text I had been writing. Is there a way to work around this? To have the NoLED app only activate when the screen is off?

Thanks for your time, and again, sorry if it's already been answered.
[Android Apps and Games] RXcetera:
Yeah, that's what I mean. I've since found a work around by using a previous version of the app that didn't have the text filter option. What was happening is that my email was notifying "sending email" (which would trigger Noled) and then "email sent" (which would trigger Noled once again). Allowing multiple entries in the text filter would solve the problem.

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

Are you using Widgetblocker? I had the same problem with WB and NoLED on Galaxy S2. The same thing would happen when receiving/sending emails. I solved it by installing version 4.4.3
[Android Apps and Games] alwyscld:
Nope, not using Widget Locker.

---------- Post added at 05:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------

I think I solved the problem. I HAD installed Widget Locker before, but then uninstalled it a few hours later and hadn't rebooted it since the uninstall. I just did a reboot and now the problem is solved. Nevermind!

[Android Apps and Games] badboy165:
This is a great app, however I have a request...

Would it possible to position each individual icon in a certain part of a screen (so it doesn't move) and then have an option to choose the blink options e.g. 2 seconds of the icon popping up and then 5 seconds of darkness etc.

Please consider implementing something similar to this and keep up the good work.

[Android Apps and Games] tierix:
Hi,

I'm using your app and I absolutely love it. But do you have a list of 3rd party lock screen apps that NoLed works with?

It unfortuantely doesn't work with HiddenLock nor AntiLock for instance, and i'm looking for a lockscreen app that NoLed would work with...

Thnx
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
sorry guys. I'm just not finding free time like I used to and I keep pushing things back. Hopefully I can squeeze in some NoLED coding tomorrow :)

That's a widgetlocker problem. Expect a fix in the next release.

Check your call/text log and make sure the numbers over there match the contact number. NoLED runs a search on your contacts using that phone number, so it has to match. In some cases, the number received does not exactly match (eg. area code, international code prefixes).

nobody is expected to read the entire thread :)

The activation while phone unlocked is definitely related to WidgetLocker. The LOCKED and HIDDEN broadcasts are not doing what they're supposed to, so I'm reverting to the old setup to fix this issue in the next release. This might break Missed Calls again but I'll try to work around that issue in another way.

Yea, check your K9 email accounts under Toggle Notifications > Emails. Don't check K9 under Monitored Apps.

Works here :confused:

Thanks for your suggestion. I'm not sure I'll add that feature given how cluttered the settings menu is already but I wanted to let you know that the Blink feature is already there, and you can set it to make NoLED display the icons for 2 seconds, then go off for 5.

what ?! where?! :eek:

Only WidgetLocker is supported although it's currently broken in the latest version.

Quick Contact Photos Question

Just wondered if there are any plans to integrate the contact photos to email alerts as well...?

Checked my all/text log and...

Thanks for your reply madmack!

The call log displays the number with a +61 in front of it, but when I check the number in my contacts on my phone and google gmail, it's just the stock standard mobile phone number. I'm kind of embarrassed to have to ask this question, but now how do I get them to match? :o
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
you can edit the contact info directly on your phone or log into your gmail account and click on Contacts on the left and change their number to include the +61
[Android Apps and Games] kmajmet:
I was just about to edit my post to say... how can I get them to match without having to add +61, as I'm worried that when I make calls or send an sms to those numbers I'd be charged a higher call/sms rate, even though it's within my country. Guess I'll go and check with my service provider to see if that's the case, and if not, make the necessary change.

Thanks for all your help :)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
a lot of my contacts have the + (country code) prefix and I was never charged extra for those here in the US. My experience has been the same everywhere I went really. The plus sign is interpreted by the carrier and is routed accordingly, so there is no reason why they should charge you extra for using it.

I thought I read someone else having this trouble...

In the latest version (4.6) on my SGS (Captivate) running Android 2.1, NoLED doesn't save any of my settings upon reboot. This is the first time I've noticed this issue since getting NoLED. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] starfcker69:
I use NoLed with a Tmobile G2. Everything worked great until I updated today (Version 4.6). Now when I receive an SMS, there is a sound notification in addition to the notification on screen. (The sound notification is an MP3 voice "this is audible"). I do not want the sound notification...

*Audio Reminder is not checked

* Under "Ringtone" - silent.

Thanks! Great app and this is the first and only problem I've encountered.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:

This is not caused by NoLED. Make sure your SMS app is not set to play any sound.

[Android Apps and Games] radeon_x:
After the upgrade to 4.6, I decided to give WidgetLocker another shot...

Still really hit or miss for me.

Can someone suggest a config that works 100%?

-Disable stock lock screen in WL? (Easy Wake Mode?)

-Retain System Keyguard in WL?

-Screen timeout length?

-Notification delay in NoLED?

If I disable WidgetLocker, NoLED works 100%. With it enabled, the notifications sometimes show and sometimes don't. Strangely, NoLED seems to activate randomly while using the phone (screen on!) when WidgetLocker is running. How that's possible I don't know.

I'm using notification icons for both WL and NoLED for consistency.

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
The default settings in WidgetLocker should work fine in NoLED v4.6. Don't disable the stock lock (easy wake mode) and make sure you use the back key to dismiss NoLED to get back to WL.

The "activate randomly" issue should be resolved in v4.6. At least in my test-case. So far the guys that complained about this issue all said that v4.6 indeed does fix the issue.

Sorry couldn't be more specific. I don't use WL day-to-day. Maybe someone else can chime in :)

Hey, I just downloaded on my SGS2... Now I dont have blink enable but it still blinks...

Enable is unchecked

On Time is 50 ms

Off time is 0 seconds

White background is unchecked

What can be wrong thats still cause it too blink? And is there also a way how I can disable the menu,home, back,search buttons from lighting up?

Basically I just want the LED to come up on the screen and thats it... Thanks, good app btw
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
For the backlights, you can go to Android's settings and disable the backlight from there.

as for blink staying on even though you've switched it off. try restarting the noled service, if that doesn't work then i don't know as I can't replicate it.

[Android Apps and Games] tierix:

[Android Apps and Games] maxpd:
I used "No Lock". This app deactivates the Lock screen. If the Lockscreen is deactivated, also no Led doesn't work anymore.

Another point is: If i get a message or a call or something like that, i often have to press the home button two times to wake the phone up.
[Android Apps and Games] maxpd:
A third point is, i don't know if it is a no led issue, that sometimes if i press the home button to see the clock, the screen doesn't turn off anymore until the battery is empty. Thats a big mistake.

[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
you guys should try changing the dots moving interval (under Time and Sleep) to 8 seconds. I'm not entirely sure yet, but I seem to be getting better battery life while NoLED is on and showing notifications (whether in my pocket using the proximity sensor or without). Give it a try and let me know if you got similar results. I might change the default to 8 in the next release.
[Android Apps and Games] DarienA:
Where is that option? Having some trouble finding it...

edit: Found it under Time and Sleep... not really sure it makes sense logically for it to be there, seems like it should be under Battery saving features...
[Android Apps and Games] mbze430:
[Q] Why is NoLED taking me to the notification page even when I am using my phone?

For some reason, when I'm using my phone (unlocked, screen on... interacting with my phone). I get notifications from Apps that it's being monitor. And it will take me to the notification screen.

For example. I use FriendCaster Pro and I get notifications. If I am playing a game or doing something on my phone, it puts me in to the notification indication page by NoLED. Is there a way to stop that besides not "watching apps". Because I like to get notifications from FriendCaster when I am away from my phone.

Please Advise
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I never thought it really saved any battery juice. I added it for aesthetics: some people like icons to bounce less often. If it proves to be useful for battery as I'm suspecting now, then I might move it to battery saving features and change the default to 8 seconds.

this only happens if you have widgetlocker and has been fixed in v4.6. get it from the market.
[Android Apps and Games] mbze430:
I am currently already on v4.6 I am NOT using widgetlocker. Instead I am using Lockscreen Agenda.

uncheck your emails under toggle notifications > emails and then go to Monitored Apps and check gmail there.

correct.

not really I just tried magiclocker and the proximity isn't working. It will dismiss notification but the auto-screen on/off doesn't work with magiclocker

---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 PM ----------

ok NOW I am upset. Thinking that since you said "WidgetLocker" is compatible to NoLED. I paid for it... but it doesn't work with the Proximity Sensor. Again, the proximity sensor with Widgetlocker does nothing. When I put something over the promixity sensor while using Widgetlocker, nothing happens other than the red "dim" light turns off. The screen stays on. Nothing else happens.

While the proximity sensor seems to only work with the default lockscreen on the ATT SGS2... it does what it supposed to do.

Please reply soon so i can get my refund on Widgetlocker
[Android Apps and Games] Roye_V:
thanks nice app
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
get a refund before it's too late.

While widgetlocker is supported, not all features in NoLED will work. I'm working on improving it's integration and it is far from perfect at the moment. It works in the sense that if you kept everything on default, it'll display the notifications and won't miss anything.

The proximity sensor option doesn't work because widgetlocker likes to override whatever is on the screen once the screen shuts off.

The problems with custom lock screens are endless and are honestly a pain to work with. My advice: stick to the default lock screen.

K9 Not shown as email....

Hi I have recently starting using a HTC Desire S. For some reason K9 mail is not shown in my list of email accounts in NO Led.

I can get it to work if I choose it as a monitored app - but on my old Desire it was shown.

I'm sure yesterday when I restarted the app it was shown - but for some reason having restarted the phone today its is not shown again....?

Any ideas why K9 doesn't show up?

Is there something I am missing?

Also - if I do have to use the monitored app is there any way I can use the normal no LED icon rather than the app icon of the K9 head - which I dislike!!!

NoLED Does Not Work With Hidden Lock Pro

I did not see this question asked but if it has please excuse me. Is there any way to get NoLED to work with Hidden Lock Pro? I have tried everything on my Infuse 4G to no avail. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Widget-Locker is the problem.

Try disabling or uninstalling that temporarily to see if the problem goes away. Let me know if it does because I do know that the ATT SGS2 has some lock screen bugs that might also contribute to the issue.

It will most likely consume more battery. Unfortunately I don't have any solid statistics to back that up. Best way is to try it out yourself.

As for burnout, I don't think that'll happen given that I move the icons/dots around frequently and at random spots.

NoLED checks if K9 is installed before it polls the user accounts. Sometimes that doesn't work for some reason (i really have no idea as it's been solid on my device and on the emulator. it's very hard for me to debug something that i can't replicate :()

You can get the K9 icon by long pressing on the K9 app in Monitored Apps and selecting it manually. You can find the native icons and some more at the website under the Themes section.

NoLED requires a lock screen. I don't think it'll work with that app.
[Android Apps and Games] 64dodger:
I have a lock screen with that app just not the stock app screen.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I should rephrase: "NoLED requires the Android default lock screen to work properly." Any app that disables that particular lock screen will disable NoLED. Hope that's clearer now :)
